Bianca suddenly pushed Finn down on the bed, wat on his waist, lowered her waist, and looked at him.
Bianca said, “Finn, there are many benefits for you to marrying me.
“Firstly, I will bring the entire Vaughn family over to help the Montgomery family reach a higher level. I have the ability. Evan is obsessed with me. He will give the entire Vaughn family to me as long as I am willing
“Secondly, we have been together for many years, I know your preferences in bed, and we can satisfy each other
Bianca, the delicate little woman, suddenly turned into a charming little one, captivating,
Finn’s eyes fixed on her face for two seconds, and he realized he still couldn’t resist the temptation.
He clasped the back of Bianca’s head and kissed her, hard and fast.
Marrying her was out of the question.
But being the bed partners was still an option.
Bianca, on the other hand, thought his eagerness meant she had succeeded.
‘As expected, Finn can’t live without me, thought Bianca.

Juliette woke up to find it was snowing again.
It was perfect weather to stay home, but she had an appointment with Thora to talk about what had happened five years ago.
Juliette arrived at her office. She was wearing a white knit camisole dress with a matching knit cardigan, a simple silver necklace, and white boots.
There was enough heat in both her car and her office, so she wasn’t cold despite wearing so little.
It wasn’t five minutes before Thora was invited in.
Thora was carrying two small boxes when she came in. The boxes were beautiful, and she put them in front of Juliette.
“This Milk Foam Tiramisu is especially delicious,” said Thora. “I can eat one at a time. Juliette, try it. It’s made with animal cream and zero sucrose, so you won’t gain weight.”
“Thank you for the dessert. It’s delicious.” Juliette took a bite first as a sign of respect.
They exchanged pleasantries for a while longer.
Then Juliette got down to business.
“You said you saw me five years ago and that I saved your life. Can you tell me in detail what happened then?” said Juliette.
“Huh? You did such a great deed of kindness. Don’t you remember it yourself? Or are you testing my memory to judge my gratitude for your life–saving grace?” said Thora.
Juliette smiled. “To be honest with you, I had an illness later on and don’t remember much about what happened before.”

Thora had a look of realization. “No wonder you look at me so strangely. You were so brave at that time. We will never forget what did for us. What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know!”

Juliette pursed her lips.
She mainly wanted to know how she got pregnant and how she got involved with Patrick.
However, she was not sure how much Thora knew.
“Tell me everything you’ve encountered about me, okay? Also, if you don’t mind, just call me by my name. You don’t have to be so formal. We’re not that far apart in age.”
“We may not be that far apart in age, but you’re my lifesaver,” said Thora, winking playfully.
Next, Thora told Juliette about the night she met Juliette five years ago.
Thora was only fifteen years old that year, having just graduated from junior high school.
Her family was poor, so she went out to work with people from her village.
As a result, the villagers colluded with human traffickers and sold Thora.
Many others were sold along with her. There were a total of five girls including herself.
They were smuggled onto the boat and locked in a dark room. Thora could feel the boat moving forward and hear the bustle in the distance. She even heard the sound of the boat breaking through the water. The sound of the waves rolling was exceptionally clear.
Thora and the girls huddled together, horror on everyone’s faces. They knew they had been sold.
A miserable and terrible fate awaited them.
They might become tools for childbirth.
Or they might become tools for making money.
Either way, it was enough to frighten them.
Everyone wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run.
They stayed in the darkness for a long time. They could guess their fate but were unable to guess which land they would be
sent to.
They were not fed enough. They looked dazed, deep in despair and fear,
As time went on, their fear and despair increased. Thora, like the other girls, no longer expected anyone to come and save them.
But right at that moment, the door to their room was opened.
A beam of light shone in from outside, and Juliette, in all her youthful radiance, appeared before her and the other girls.
“You were like an angel in my eyes at that time. When I saw you, I felt like I was saved. Thinking back later, I found the thought quite amusing. Maybe the person who came in was not an angel but someone here to beat and scold us?”
Thora smiled as she said that.

“Fortunately, it was you who came.” Thora couldn’t help but hold Juliette’s hand, her eyes brimming with tears.

“After you came in, you cut off all the ropes from our hands and feet and helped us up from the ground one by one. Then you took us out of the room…
“You held my hand, and I felt your hand was so warm. How could there be such warm hands in the world?”
Thora’s tears fell, and she wiped them away with her hand. Juliette handed her a tissue, and Thora took it.
Juliette closed her eyes, and that scene suddenly appeared in her mind.
Time was limited at that time. To rescue all the girls, Juliette had to be as fast as possible, and even faster.
In addition to rescuing them, she had to find a safe place for them. Otherwise, if they were caught again, Juliette would end up in the same desperate situation as them.
The girls were covered in blood. After helping them up and away, Juliette felt the warmth of fresh blood on her hands… blood that had just flowed from the girls‘ bodies.
Juliette frowned, her head pounding as if it were about to explode.
Those images only flashed through her mind in fragments. She couldn’t piece them together into a complete picture.
Blood. There was so much blood.
The endless darkness.
The scorching heat.
She was in pain all over.
Running, chaos, screams… so many sounds. All mixed up in her head.
The harder Juliette racked her brain, the more it hurt. But it was the first time images from that time had surfaced in her mind, and Juliette was reluctant to let them go.
Her mind was on the brink of overload, but she didn’t want to stop thinking.
Juliette thought, ‘Ah, why was I on the boat?
‘I was only eighteen years old at the time. How could I have the courage to fight against those vicious traffickers?
‘How did I lose my virginity?
‘It was like I was trapped in the darkness, being dragged into the darkness by something?”
“Ah!” Juliette cried. It hurt so much as if an ice pick was stabbing straight into her head. Juliette rolled off the chair, and her face was pale and covered in sweat.
Thora was startled and hurriedly got up to hold her. “Juliette, what’s wrong?”
Hearing the commotion, Daphne rushed in and asked, “What did you do to Juliette?”
Juliette grasped Thora’s hand and asked with what seemed like her last ounce of strength, “Besides saving you, what else did I do?”

Thora’s wrist was gripped so tightly that it hurt. Her face was pale, and she was terrified.
She blurted out, “Juliette, you pulled the trigger, remember?”
